Painswick Rustic Engineered Oak Parquet Flooring
Before the works
This small project comprised of fitting of 14 mm thick oak engineered parquet flooring and solid oak scotia beading around.
Before the glue-down installation of the new flooring, we had to lay 12 mm plywood on top of the original floorboards as a start.
Parquet flooring requires smooth, solid and level surface before going down.
How we did it...
The new flooring was laid over plied subfloor and fitted as in single herringbone parquet flooring pattern. The glue-down installation guarantees the relatively thin engineered wood block, to sustain any humidity and temperature changes.
Additional works were required to level out the parquet flooring against the tiles in adjacent room and the connection was made with same type of timber threshold, available in the other rooms in the property to keep similarity.

Did you know this about oak flooring?
Oak wood is a durable and strong hardwood timber known for its distinct grain patterns and wide range of colors, from light brown to reddish tones. It has a coarse texture with prominent grain markings, making it a popular choice for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and structural applications. Oak is highly resistant to wear, moisture, and insect damage, offering long-lasting durability. It takes staining in dark, light, greys and whites well, with lacquer and oil-based finishes. Another reason that makes it the most popular timber for wooden flooring offering versatility in both traditional and contemporary designs.
